"Of the 250, candidates can schedule 125 online appointments to visit information counters; the remaining 125 are walk-in tokens. Those who schedule appointments online, however, won't have to wait in queue and will receive priority attention. Therefore, Dasari Balaiah advised that any applicants who need to travel immediately but whose applications are still processing can schedule free online appointments at www.passportindia.gov.in to visit information counters.
